Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a non-stick skillet. Add hash browns; cook until tender and golden brown.
Press hash browns into the bottom of a pie plate or skillet, creating a crust.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook bacon and onion until onion is tender and bacon is crisp; drain on a paper towel lined plate; chop.
In a bowl, stir together eggs, sour cream, half-and-half, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in onion mixture, spinach, both cheeses and tomatoes.
Pour egg mixture into the hash brown crust. Bake 45 - 50 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If necessary, cover edges of crust with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. If desired, garnish with more cherry tomatoes.
